    Nathan Ablett retires

    http://heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/c...E20322,00.html

    Can't help but wonder if his father played a part in this decision?

    But I can see him coming back in 2008....

    Also, just read from the Cats' main website and he's only taking time out.

    Not surprised really. It took them a few seasons before they could convince him to join them.

    Maybe Roosy should move in for the kill and get him on our team!

    Interesting how news outlets differ. The ABC have been saying he was taking a break. Nothing about retiring. I know who I am more likely to believe.

    The Geelong Advertiser also says he was taking a break to think about his future, nothing about retiring.

    Agree 100%. I know we can't get into people's heads and understand the demons they face, but I find it hard to listen to anyone complain when they have an opportunity to set up their whole life because they are talented in a sport they love.

    Puts meaning to the phrase ' flawed genius'. But honestly,who wrote this headline Ablett Retires?Anna Coren?and yes he seems a bit of a prima donna,but considering the attention attracted by his old boy this week,you can hardly blame him. He'd have one big game at start of 08 and have the journos camped on his front lawn. Thats why he didnt come thru the elite 18s ranks.

    He might miss part or all of the 2008 season but he won't retire.

    Pretty poor form from Mark Thompson to weigh into the debate.
    He ate more cheese, than time allowed

    Why he is the coach and knows a little bit more about it than the media i assume.
